Course description |
The course for Renal Medicine (Nephrology) and Urology shares an attachment within the Year 4 carousel with Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Haematology/Oncology and some other topics. During the 14 weeks of each attachment, there is an initial period of 1 week during which all students receive large group teaching, and a final week for revision and assessment. Clinical attachments to Renal Medicine will occur during one of the two-week cycles that follow. Clinical attachments to Urology will occur during another of these two-week cycles (shared with the Oncology programme). Aims and objectives are shared with Urology. Assessment is also carried out jointly. |
